What's going on?" Ye Li asked carefully, noticing that the atmosphere was not good.
After asking this question, mother-in-law Zhao Xingmei's eyes turned red first, and then father-in-law Jiang Jingshan let out a long sigh.
Jiang Xun frowned and turned his sharp eyes to Jiang Xi and Jiang Sui: "Did you two make your parents angry?"
Jiang Xi waved his hands quickly: "Brother, I didn't. How dare I make my parents angry?"
"That's Jiang Sui?"
"Yes, it's me." Jiang Sui raised her head and looked at Jiang Xun, "Brother, I don't want to stay at home and eat dry meals. I want to go out and find a job to do some work. Is that not okay?"
"Of course." Jiang Xun supported her idea, but he felt that this matter must not be as simple as Jiang Sui said, otherwise, his mother would not cry before she even opened her mouth. "So what kind of job do you want to do?"
"She wants to sell candied haws!" Zhao Xingmei pointed at Jiang Sui and said sadly, "She wants to sell candied haws, and no matter what I say, she won't be persuaded! I don't know what she is thinking. She went out for a day and came back to do this! How much suffering does it take for a girl to sell candied haws! How much money can she make all day long!"
"What's wrong with selling candied haws? I earn my own living!" Jiang Sui retorted, "You always tell us that there is no distinction between high and low occupations. What? Now you look down on people who sell candied haws?"
...
...
"Why don't you go and see if there are any decent factories hiring? How will people look at your mother if you go to the street to buy candied haws?"
"Oh. So you're afraid that people will look down on me because I sell candied haws! Don't worry, I'll push the cart farther away when I sell candied haws! It won't affect your reputation!"
"You...you really make me mad!" Zhao Xingmei pounded her chest and was really angry.
She felt that she felt the most sorry for her daughter, so she wanted to make it up to her. She wanted to find her a good and stable job, but she...actually said something so hurtful.
"Mom, I didn't want to worry about you! But there is one thing I need to tell you. It's not that I don't want to find a good job! It's that I can't find a good job. Factories require a high school diploma! I only have a junior high school diploma, and I didn't even finish junior high school! They don't want me!" Jiang Sui went out to look for a job for a day yesterday, but was kept blocked because of his academic qualifications. He was very sad.
She was also very upset. She had been held back by the social environment for so long, and her marriage was not going smoothly. Her life was simply terrible!!
"I will ask someone to find a job for you! Can you just wait a moment? I have let you down over the years and I want to make it up to you!" Zhao Xingmei was in tears, her emotions soaring and she was almost speechless.
"Is it because of this?" Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, that's it. Then Mom and Sui Sui..."
"Mom, actually, if Sui Sui wants to do this, you should let her do it! There's nothing wrong with being self-reliant! Let her sell her candied haws first, and you can ask someone to help her find a job! Wouldn't it be better to have a two-pronged approach?" Jiang Xun agreed with Jiang Sui's approach, but his mother was right, so he could only mediate.
"Yes, Mom! We all understand that you are doing this for Sui Sui's own good! How could she not understand that? Mom, since Sui Sui wants to give it a try, just let her give it a try! Sui Sui has experienced a lot of hardships, so the hardship of selling candied haws is nothing to her! What's more, the weather is getting warmer, so she won't be cold anymore." Ye Li also advised.
These days, she could actually see that Jiang Sui was still feeling a little depressed.
So, let her do whatever she wants to do. Perhaps, this will make her happier and freer.
"Yes, that's what I mean. You are too strong, old woman. Let your daughter do whatever she wants. What you think is good for her may not be what she likes!" Jiang Jingshan advised.
"What is poison to you may be honey to others," said Jiang Xun.
"What...what do you mean, brother?" Jiang Xi didn't understand.
"That is to say, you think it is honey, but others think it is arsenic. That's what it means. You think the other person is good, but the other person doesn't think so. You think apples are delicious, but the other person thinks pears are delicious!" Ye Li explained.
Jiang Xun glanced at Jiang Xi and said, "Read more books when you have time! Don't you want to pursue Fang Ning? You can't be so timid in front of her, right?"
Jiang Xi lowered his head: "Oh, I see."
Zhao Xingmei was finally persuaded. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay! Then I'll listen to you. Jiang Sui, if you want to sell candied haws, go ahead!"
"Thank you, Mom." Jiang Sui agreed.
"I'll go cook!" Zhao Xingmei stood up and went to the kitchen to cook. Just as she reached the door, she stopped and turned around to call Ye Li, "Li Li, accompany me to cook!"
When Jiang Xun heard that his wife was tired after so many days and wanted to have a ready-made meal after coming back, he ended up not only not having the meal, but also having to help in the kitchen.
He hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go cook with you!"
"You are not needed. Just stay here and don't move! I don't have anything to say to you!"
Ye Li understood what her mother-in-law meant. She must have something to say to her, so she said, "I'll just go with Mom. You don't have to worry about it."
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Zhao Xingmei held Ye Li's hand and said, "Li Li, I'm sorry about Sui Sui. I hope she's happy. But this girl is suffering from a mental illness! I wanted to introduce her to someone, but she wanted to escape from me! A girl can't make much money selling candied haws...Please persuade her for me! I beg you!"
"Mom, Sui Sui just came back, why are you so anxious? Her fate hasn't come yet! She just got divorced, her heart is full of scars, and she hasn't even healed yet, and you're anxious for her to get into another relationship! I know you're doing this for her good, but she has to be willing to do this. I can't remember this! Haven't you heard that Dayu had to drain the water to control it, not block it!"
Zhao Xingmei couldn't listen to other people's words, but she listened to Ye Li's words carefully: "Okay, Mom will listen to you. You and Jiang Xun should also pay attention to your sister's affairs!"
"We are all thinking about it!"
"That's good! That's good!"
The next day, Jiang Sui started making candied haws at home. She didn't have a cart, so she just carried the candied haws on her shoulders and went from street to street.
He sold them for seven or eight days in a row, and came back at dusk every day, and there would be only a few strings of candied haws left on the straw target.
The neighbors in the yard knew about Jiang Sui's situation and were willing to help. If each family bought two strings, they could buy all the strings for her.
Jiang Sui knew the kindness of his neighbors, so he often sold goods one day and gave them away the next day.
weekend.
The weaving factory launched the "Spring Hard Work Plan", and all the female workers in the factory swore to work hard.
As a member of the Propaganda Department, Ye Li needs to write manuscripts and submit them to the factory newspaper, so she has to go to the factory.
She even needed to arrive early to set up the scene for the oath-taking ceremony, as the factory leaders and leaders of various departments had to be present to give speeches.
While the leader was speaking, the staff of the Propaganda Department took notes with cameras and notebooks and collected materials in preparation for the report.
"Ye Li, come here!" When Section Chief Liu saw Ye Li holding a camera to take pictures of the factory leaders, he waved at her.
"Chief, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Section Chief Liu nodded and said, "Yes. This afternoon the factory director is going to the garment factory to discuss cooperation with the leaders there. I'm going to go over there to see how their clothes are! You can go with me and take a look. If there are any that fit, we can get two sets back!"
"That's great! Thank you, Chief, for always thinking of me first when you have any good things!" Ye Li said with a smile.
"That's right, who are you? You are my sister! As an older sister, if I don't think about you as a younger sister, who else can I think about?" Liu Hua said with a smile.
Although these words were just polite talk, but when Ye Li heard them coming out of her mouth, he felt very soothed.
Ye Li thought of Jiang Sui again. She suddenly mentioned this matter to Liu Hua: "Chief, I have something I want to tell you."
